THE FLUSHING ROSE.

What ais our lovely little Rose
I'd like TO know
What makes him snarl where e'cr he goes
And buster so
He talks about his brio a-brac,
His fathers ancient jumping jack
What point described doth Rosy lack
I'd like to know.
Oh, wherefore always smirched with dirt,
Dear little Rose
Didst ever see clean white shirt
Or tidy clothes
Why did thy father build that jay
Thy charming face could win the day
And scare the last jim Crow away,
My pretty Rose.
Dost think 'twould bring thy stalwart race
Down to the grave
If thou shoudst wash thy pretty face
And get shave ?
Didst ever think how strange 'twould be
To get from smut all pure and free ?
Dost know what soap might do for thee
Sweet little Rose
Why let thy temper get so riled
Dear little Rose
Thou'll ge. thy disposition spilled,
Just like thy nose.
Remember, 1t is Heavens decree
All men should sweet and lovely be;
Remember, that applies to thee,
Sweet little Rose.

THE BALLOON WOMAN.

At Charlevoix, Michigan, dwells lady
who hourishes under the cognomen Of the
.balloon woman" She does not derive this
title from any aerial explorations that she
ever INDUCED in, but she does bear that
name, and thereon hangs Il tale. The lady 8
name is Vosberg--Mrs. Vosberg. She is a
lady of some fifty summers, and large hoops
She is about FIVE feet and a half tall, and
about three feet and four inches square
She is not altogether such lady as one would
select for the heroine Of love story. She
resides on farm, about three miles from
the Charlevoix Summer Resort, and sup
ports herself by the combined proceeds OF
selling garden vegetable to the resorters and
of telling their fortunes Mrs. Vosberg i:
very prepossess!ng in appearance-that is tC
say, she prepossesses good deal. She is
lady of dress-a great deal of dress. She
wears large hoops, and an ample linen dus
ter. She wears large straw hat, tied down
over her cheeks and fastened with large
bow of green ribbon under her chin. Hell
chariot consists of buck board, drawn by
Q little black mustang pony. When Mrs
Vosberg seats herself upon the buck board
gets her pony under way, the wind putfs Ou
her linen buster, the big hat flaps, and the
green ties futter, and she bears down upor
the resort under full sail-there is sigh
for gods and men hence the name "balloor
woman
Mrs Vosberg is genius, she can tell any
ones past history with surprising accuracy
recollect her telling one gentleman his for
tune in a way that made him howl. During
the interview she said "Oh, you be fast, yor
be, and you drink, you do, and and there b.
young lady that you ought TO 60 and
but he was up and off in high dungeon. An
other, lady who, they told her was an oil
maid, was examined. Mrs. Vosberg looked
al her a moment and then said, "Iou ben
no old maid. You've been married at teas
trice" All OF the above facts were sub
stantially correct as aforesaid, but how die
che know? Anyone visiting Charlevoi!
should be sure to make the acquaintance o
Mrs Vosberg the Balloon Woman.
